AP reports another superdelegate for Obama.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — One of Minnesota's last uncommitted Democratic superdelegates is backing Barack Obama, the Obama campaign announced Sunday.
Nancy Larson, of Dassel, a Democratic National Committee member, told The Associated Press she decided to support Obama because his campaign will bring new people into the political process, and she believes he has the best chance of winning in November.
Will she be labelled another Judas?
But Larson said the choice wasn't easy. As one of the last two uncommitted superdelegates in Minnesota, Larson had been lobbied heavily by Obama's and Hillary Clinton's campaigns. She said she spent countless hours speaking with the campaigns and others about her choice.
I like what Ms. Larson said.. It almost seems like a direct response to the bitter flap.
Barack Obama has built a powerful grassroots campaign in Minnesota and across the country, and that is one of the big reasons why I am endorsing him today. He has the ability to inspire people who have felt left out of the political process. With Barack's leadership, we will see record breaking numbers of people working on the campaign as we near Election Day in November. That enthusiasm will translate into support for other Democratic candidates, which will be indispensable in order to bring about the changes needed to improve the economy and to bring back prosperity to America’s working people.
It seems that she should know what it's like to live in a community similar to those hard hit in Western PA.
Larson lives in rural Minnesota, an area that is hard-hit by low wages and high unemployment rates, which made the economy a prime issue in making her decision on who to support for president.
I'll delete this diary if I find someone else has already posted it but didn't find anything on it when I searched.
